If I go through the microperf AT screen how will I be able to EQ them ? I have Dirac with my emotiva xmc-1 and can do target curve but I'm not an expert on it. What frequencies should I eq and by how much ?

It's effortless with room EQ, like Dirac. Just set the target curve the way you like, and it will automatically compensate for the screen. Also, you'd want to make sure you are far enough back from the screen that the holes wouldn't be visible.

Like I said, I'd see if I could get by with the gain from a Semour XD screen first, and only go with microperf for an especially big screen in a big room.

A handy trick here is to stack concrete blocks from the hardware store and wrap them in black velvet.

It's super cheap, super solid, and you can fine tune the height.

You'll want some work gloves, though, so you don't shred your hands.

It doesn't look as nice as real stands, but it's perfect for behind an AT screen.

I will try it out with concrete blocks and wrap them in velvet. I will check the plans because the person who I'm buying the screen told me that I can fit a 133" in screen and I'm planing to have it with curtains the opens and close when I'm not using the system. To see if I can put the LR outside and out wide then I will talk to Jeff to see if he can sell me nice stands for them. It all depends I have to talk to him to see if I can get a bigger screen if that is the case the speakers will have to go behind the screen.

It would be ideal to try the speakers at different widths to see what you like best before committing, if possible.

Ok perfect it is easy to do. I will check if he sells the semour XD Screen.
Thank you

So to be perfectly clear and set expectations.
I say this because my center was about 2' off the ground and it really bugged me the sound came from that far down.
Once I got an AT screen I had all speakers at the same height and orentation which made the sound stage line up with the screen.
For me this was a very noticeable difference.
As a side my LR's are not behind the screen but just on the side so for music they are not impacted by the screen.

Thanks for all the pure enjoyment you have brought so many of us with such fantastic products from a really great company.

If anyone is area and not doing anything than JTR is having a 10th anniversary party this saturday. We'll have movie clips going on the demo room, music in the warehouse and will have food. BYOB (bring your own beer). PM me for details. Union Grove WI 53182.

I just finished connecting the surrounds on a theater this afternoon. It has 3 JTR Noesis 212HTR's, 4 Slant 8's, and 2 Orbit Shifter LFU's. We were playing over 132 dB with a lot more clean output available. Power is from two Crest CC5500 amps and two Crest CC4000 amps. The acoustic treatment package will arrive next week and then I'll put up some pictures.

The room has concrete walls, ceiling, and floor. This is the loudest and most bass impact of any system I've experienced so far. The owner was coming from a single HSU Research VTF-15H so he was all smiles.

I'm flying to Chicago tomorrow to attend Jeff's 10th anniversary celebration. Tomorrow night we hope to visit pennynike1's "bass asylum" and hear 8 Othorns and 4 Seaton Terraform D18's. I'm not sure yet what subwoofers Jeff will have setup for Saturday, but this week is shaping up to be one of my top bass output weeks. I'm putting some earplugs in my bag right now.

I was going to tell you to bring a parka and your mukluks but then remembered where you live so ... maybe sunscreen and a hawaiian shirt?
